    We're having some issues with the IPA Designer.  First, when I log in I immediately get this error.  The application still runs and I can see/modify the flows.

    And here's the full details for the error...

    Manage Processes does come up but I can only see the first 108 flows we have on the system.  The flows are listed alphabetically. Most of these are HR flows and they name theirs in all upper case so I can't see my supply req approval flows that are all in lower case.

      First, it appears that your permissions to the IPD folder on your local desktop/laptop are wrong. You need full read/write permissions to this folder. Fix that and see if it resolves both errors.
      Second, make sure the version of IPD installed matches the version of Rich Client - you may get strange errors interacting with Landmark if you're not on the same CU.

        Thanks David. The file permission change fixed the first error. While I was posting my issue our Lawson admin was able to figure out the problem with all of our flows not listed in the process manager. The last process in the list was something that consultant was working on last year and there was not flow associated and no version tied to the process definition. Once that was removed the rest of the flows were listed. Our IPD and Rich Client version do match.
